IMPORTANT UPDATE
Dear friends of Focus E15 campaign
We are postponing our meeting this Saturday 14 October. It will take place on a new date to be announced very soon.
A march for Palestine has been called for the same date.
Focus E15 campaign supports the Palestinian people and their resistance movement. We will be marching in central London on Saturday 14 October to show our solidarity with Palestine.
The struggle for housing in Newham is part of the international struggle for justice for the poor and oppressed all over the world. A struggle against capitalism, against racism and imperialism.
Join Focus E15 on the march this Saturday 14 October and see you on the stall outside Wilko’s the following Saturday 21 October 12-2pm.
Please see the info here about the march: https://www.palestinecampaign.org/events/march-for-palestine-end-the-violence-end-apartheid/
Thank you all for your support.
Below is the original info about the event that has now been postponed.
Focus E15 campaign is hosting a public meeting to mark 10 years of housing campaigning in East London. Join us on Saturday 14th October at 2pm at the Carpenters and Docklands Centre in Stratford for films, fun and facts and to learn more about the international struggle for housing justice.
Focus E15 campaign, comrades and supporters will be discussing the history of the campaign with film clips shown to illustrate key victories from the initial campaigners and expand upon the lessons learnt over the last decade by drawing out the themes on this key article that was published on this site 5 years ago.
The campaign is especially excited to announce that Ghassan Abu Sitta, who is our guest speaker will be returning and he will discuss the struggle for housing in Newham in the context of the wider international struggle against racism and imperialism. Please listen to his excellent podcast recorded at a Focus E15 campaign meeting during lockdown.
There will also be a chance to see an exhibition of the amazing political banners by artist activist Andrew Cooper because his work is so important to the life of the campaign on the streets today.
This meeting is the next in a series of events we are hosting to mark our 10th anniversary – the first was our fabulous Ceilidh dance, called Heel-Toe-for-Housing which sold out.
The Focus E15 campaign meeting is free to attend, open to all interested parties, comrades and friends and the details are:
Date: Saturday 14 October
Time: 2pm-5pm
Venue: Carpenters and Dockland Centre, 98 Gibbons Road, Stratford, E15 2HU
EDUCATE. AGITATE. ORGANISE.
